8 Weeks Out - A Primal Powerlifters Journey page

[MightyMouse]

If you're reading this, then I'm already dead...Kidding. Although I guess it is a possibility. I figured I'd try to get my journal on preparing for my first powerlifting meet. I'll be logging my workouts, perhaps some of the food I digest, and write stories about my sexual conquests and bank robbing.

I'm pretty much already at the weight I'd like to be at. 130-132 at most. I stand 5'4 tall which immediately helps me out in the deadlift. I already posted a video of my deadlift personal record I set Monday to show my badass'ness and to cover up my insecurities. Here it is again though.

This is last Mondays workout.

Squat- 220 5x3 (first number is reps, so 5 reps with 3 sets across.)
Bench- 170 5x3
Conventional deadlift- 185x3, 255x3, 290, 325, 360, 375, 355, 340
One arm db row- 70 10x4

Was pretty toasted obviously. My back was so sore and I'm still feeling it a little.

Tuesday I walked the dog, rowed 5,000m in 30min, and did facepulls 40 12x4

Wednesday

Front Squat- 165 3x3
Press- 110 5x3
Power Clean- 140 3x5
Chins- 45x5, 35x4, bwx9
GHRs- bwx 10, 8, 5.

And today was rowing again except just 3200m in 20min and then facepulls again with same weight and reps as Tuesday. I also do some mobility and prehab stuff at home. I'll do rotator cuff and scapular work, trigger point therapy with foam roller and softball, and then some flexibility.

Had to come to work a few hours early tonight, so wasn't able to get a complete workout in. May have been a good thing since my back was still a little tired from Mondays heavy deadlifts. Didn't have a chance to do my speed pulls or any assistance exercises.

Squat- 220x5, 235x3, 250x1
Bench- 170x5, 180x3, 195x1, 205x2(got stuck halfway on 3rd rep and so had to be helped.)
And that is it for Fridays workout

Looking forward to hockey practice tomorrow. Been a few weeks since I've played. And Monday I'll be trying sumo deadlifts out for basically the first time.

[MightyMouse]

Had hockey practice yesterday and then later spent some time in the gym. Haven't really ever done sumo deadlifts, so I practiced them with some light weight to prepare for Monday. I feel like I may be able to pull more sumo actually, so thats encouraging. Also did power clean and jerks for the first time properly. Just threw around some light weight mostly before I did the deadlifts. Unfortunately I have no sexual conquests to report this weekend...

Tuesday I walked the dog, rowed 5,000m in 30min, and did facepulls 40 12x4

[MightyMouse]

Lol...good one. Hadn't thought of facepulls that way before

And todays workout consisted of suicide...by sumo deadlifts. Also, I had sex with a girl at the gym....in my head.

Squats- 225 5x3
Press- 115 4x3
Sumo Deadlift- 185x3, 250x3, 290, 330, 375-same PR as conventional. 395...epic fail, then two singles with 315
Seated Row- 135 10x3
GHRs- bwx10, 6, 6.

[MightyMouse]

I just thought of something so perverted, but I think I will refrain...
